...what the end will be at ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY opens June 2 / by Francesca McKenzie

Francesca is understudying the role of Chloe in Mansa Ra’s new play …what the end will be at the Roundabout Theatre Company. In previews now, this exquisite story opens June 2 and runs till July 10. This is the first show to open in the Laura Pels Theatre since the pandemic, and is one of two venues at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center on W 46th Street in Manhattan.

In this new work commissioned by Roundabout, three generations of men live under one roof and grapple with their own truths of what it means to be Black and gay. It’s an exploration of pride, pain, and patience through the unflinching eyes of fathers and sons. Starring Keith Randolph Smith, Emerson Brooks, Gerald Caesar, Ryan Jamal Swain, Randy Harrison, and Tiffany Villarin. Tickets and learn more here.
